When we published a video from Hiroshima, a new kind of conspiracy theorist crawled out of the woodwork. Dozens of comments that claim that nuclear weapons don’t actually exist. Noted Science Zaddy Kyle Hill explains the evidence for nuclear weapons, and why this “theory” might be worse than the idea of a flat Earth.

*Thanks for watching!* I know this one is pretty bonkers but I thought it would be a good opportunity to explore the indelible mark of nuclear weapons -- it's larger than you think.
There's more evidence for nuclear explosions on mars than evidence nukes don't exist
Heresy!!!! Nuclear weapons don't exist cause atoms don't exist! Have you ever seen an atom? eh? eh? EH? ahahahahaha
It's truly so insane that people could even believe that nuclear warheads aren't real, how does someone even come to that conclusion?!
Next “theory”: physicists don't exist
nuclear bombs are not real, the earth is flat, and the moon is bigger than earth. I have heard all these from several younger people we hire at my work. I think there's some serious problem with education now a days.
Conspiracy theorists give the government way too much credit
Honestly. They really believe the government could hide something like that as good as they claim?
@@shastamite2 So Leak is like nothing a joke?
They act like the government is one person and a God lmao
To believe the government is 💯 truthful is just as wild
Legit. Like how could you silence scientist, make a multinational deal that everyone agreed both on and not to talk about as Well as make sure no one who is working on it also ever talks about it to anyone except someone Else who is working on it. Snd also that is able to silence all journalists except those who already Sound crazy?
It remains the silliest thing to me: in order for conspiracies like these to work, every component of every government in the world needs to work together. They can't even do that for mundane reasons...
Under rated comment. They act like the government can behave in a coordinated matter for even simple tasks LOL
It's like the moon landing. I said to a moon landing denier, "Do you really think the Russains wouldn't call us out? We lost a spy plane, and we denied it. They released the evidence that it was infact a spy plane." They didn't know what to say.
Really, they all hinge on a much larger secret supergovernment sitting atop all global institutions.
The problem is that when you point thst out to people they will say thst the international conflicts are all a facade to keep the statuous quo.
Also think about it, if they could work together, why would the war in ukrane then exist?

Hello, person from Finland here.
We only exist if we're acknowledged outside of our borders.
Please keep randomly mentioning us, so we can exist.

Finland doesn't exist, stop spreading that conspiracy.
Just the idea that the Russians and Americans would conspire together to pretend to be in a nuclear pissing match for 60 years is ludicrous.
Every country with a centralized bank is working together. All the countries agree you cannot go to the antarctic. They can absolutely agree when it comes to controlling their citizens. Nukes are faked, wars contrived and your mind is programmed by regular scheduled programming.
@@MisterFanwank Because the alternative is that the Soviets claimed they had the bomb, and the Americans didn’t call them out on it. Both sides, and the Chinese, French, Indians, Pakistanis, and North Koreans all have to be mutually accepting each other’ bluff.
@@MisterFanwank
Your paranoia doesn't reflect reality.
I'm still wondering "why the whole moon shot thing?" After all, you don't shoot 100 billion $$ worth of aluminum into outer space just to show the size of your junk!
Kind of like the morons that think the moon landings never happened. Literally every nation on earth would have to be in on it and never spill the beans for no reason whatsoever.
I'm not saying you have to be stupid to believe this fake-nuke-nonsense (or doubt the moon landings, for that matter), but you have to be really fucking capital letter S *_Stupid_* to doubt the existence of nukes or the moon landings.
It's probably easier for them to think they don't exist than to accept the fact that they could be incinerated in seconds without warning.
And without anyone having any way to counter it
That's why a lot of things end up like that
Microseconds.
I think it's more the way nuke explosion is presented in movies and book. They over extimate the power of the bomb so they could not have detonate that much that would have ended life on earth.
im highly confident that given enough time we will have something capable of stopping the chain reaction from occurring. then again anything is possible for humans given enough time :P @@creeperbait_42

So we need to trick people into believing in science? "Your brain has unlocked potential the government DOESN'T want you to use! This one simple trick will allow you to discover and prove the TRUTH on your own, in a few steps. Don't let THEM lie to you!

Which proves what?
@@dannygjk It's easier to brainwash someone into believing something than it is to prove to them that they are wrong even in the face over overwhelming evidence to the contrary of their belief. That's how propoganda works, and people buy into it way too easily.

@@djjackson2200 but it doesn't prove anything related to this video. It's vague.
My father was not the smartest man in the world.He was just a marine When they wanted to test whether or not the atomic bombs would be effective against people and how effective they would be against people.They said the company of marines to sit about six miles away from a one mega ton blast. They were outside the effective range of the blast, but they were close enough to die from radiation poison and many years later, in the form of various cancers.They had diagnosis back then.
They had Geiger counters back then. Brand new toys. In fact, and the Marines caught enough radiation that they had to shower with a very caustic Soap for quite a whi'll, several hours. Their clothes were burned. They were issued a new kit and told not to talk about this to anyone. My father died at 68 years of age.Only 2 years older than I will be soon.
He died from lymphatic cancer Which was directly correlated to is exposure to the atomic bomb during the test. The Marine Corps paid for his burial with honors. I would really like to meet the person who says that the atomic bomb does not exist and show him a few things on his bill.If he's so sure thay don't exist let him pay for the road trip. In the meantime, I'm gonna remember my father as best.I can not as a victim.Or hero as my dad
And most first responders on 911 developed lung cancer years later. Im pretty sure New York City has never been close to any nuclear materal. Neither have Vietnam, where soldiers and civilians suffered massive health problems and birth defects for years after the war. It's not nuclear, it's chemical and biological materials that cause different forms of cancers.
@@nunyabaznus7851 radiation can cause cancer y'know
@nunyabaznus7851 You are an idiot. While it is possible for chemicals to cause cancer, it is ALSO possible for radiation to do so. It's not one or the other, both can be hazardous to your health.
@@nunyabaznus7851 Rolling my eyes here. A lot of things cause cancers--radiation included. If you're a medical professional, or at university, you get to play with radioactive substances quite frequently. Lung cancer tends to come with evidence of the toxins that caused the cancer--such as black tar inside the lungs from smoking.
Let me guess: you're one of those people who don't wear a t-shirt, sunscreen, and a hat when the UV Index is high. I'm not paying your medical bills.
@@nunyabaznus7851 What has you'r comment got to do with the radiation his dad was expose to?
You ain't insisting his dads cancer was caused by something else, instead of radiation exposure from a atomic test are you, smh!
People in a nutshell:
"I haven't seen it, therefore it doesn't exist"

I like to sort UA-cam comments by "newest first" and see all the conspirationists getting hurt by science videos
I'll take that advice and see how it works out. Didn't work out like I had hoped! bummer.
Took that advice as well. Wish I hadn't. The sheer stupidity of some people ist really hard to stomach.
The problem with suggesting simple tests such as examining a bit of trinitite to conspiracy theorists is the following: They believe that you are either intentionally lying to them or unknowingly working with information that is all based on lies. Simply put: Because they do not believe in the science underlying such a test, any given outcome doesn't mean anything to them.
Exactly, that is one point I have stated to people who think it would be easy to prove something to a conspiracy theorist.
The really stupid side is they will refuse to even attempt to try and figure it out for themselves via viable options or say they want to see research that is mainstream, yet tell you at the same time that they want you to present published facts from some mainstream deal that they just said was unreliable. Basicly they talk out of both sides of thier mouths and still will butt heads with you regardless. Its how they are taught to have the conversation for evidence which is actually self defeating. They also want it all spoon fed to them. As I stated in another comment, its like a cult religion and they have been brainwashed into it by thier own doing.
Also the test isn't that simple. You need to buy the trinitide and either buy or rent an gamma spectrometer. And even then what you said still applies. They could think, all the trinitide samples are fake.
Like many conspiracy theories, this is a textbook case of "The real world is terrifying and complicated, so I choose to exist in a reality where things are simple and controlled instead."
Yep, small minded weakness/cowardice.
That's... usually the opposite of how it is. Normies don't believe in globalist goals, don't believe covid was manmade.
Owen Benjamin is a special brand of eejit. He’s an F-tier “comedian” who sucks at piano and can’t sing, yet tries to make those a hallmark of his act.

One time I told him his singing sounded like a dog being drowned in a bathtub and he called me a pedophile and then blocked me 😂 He’s easily triggered.
Almost all people live like that to some extent. Conspiracy theorists just have their own flavor of delusion.
The things that keep us going, or the life hacks as I call them are illusions we invent or come to believe as reality comes knocking on our door, and the world turns out to be much harsher than we ever imagined, just like you said.
Some of these are extremely fundamental for our everyday existence, and we never question them at all, like free will for example.
We also go through our lives assuming everyone else is conscious just like us, when we have no proof of that being the case. If I were to be purely scientific, then solipsism should be my default, but I don't like that and I find the idea that everyone is conscious more convenient.

Cool bro that's called an atomic bomb. To think they could make something worse than that is the conspiracy. Js.

While I haven't seen a nuke first hand either, when I was younger, I knew a man who served at the Maralinga test sight. In 2003, I sat down, and interviewed him for a high school assignment. He said that seeing a nuke was like looking God in the eye. Utterly humbling.
I'd argue it's his bum hole after a vindaloo.
Seeing a weapon as god is the most american thing i have ever heard :D
@@johnnyb2909As it should be.
@@johnnyb2909 that is a gross misinterpretation to how most of humanity saw it, not just the americans were involved. The guys in the upper echelons of the military for both sides of ww2 were in love with it. Not the rest of us. It is more like seeing a god come reign destruction for the horrible shit humanity has done. Should have been a real wake up call, not something to worship.
I'm reminded of a quote from Larry Niven's *Footfall,* wherein a spacecraft uses an Orion Drive (AKA Nuclear Pulsed Propulsion) which produces thrust from atomic bombs going off a few hundred feet behind the craft, the blast of which is absorbed by a massive steel plate at the back of the craft. When the ship was under thrust (continuously detonating nukes every few seconds), one of the characters described the sound thusly:
"God was knocking, and he wanted in *bad."*
I feel like this conspiracy has the same energy as the "birds arent real" conspiracy. Asking if anyone has seen a nuke is the new asking if anyone has seen a baby pigeon. Of course you haven't.
To be fair, birds aren’t real started as a parody of flat earthers
That’s cause pretty much all conspiracy are on that same level lol. It’s brain dead idiots who want to pretend they are smart by having some secret alternate knowledge which makes them smarter than every other person on earth. (Of course not a single one of these people have ever produced a single mathematic representation of any claim they ever make about science)
People actually believed that? I thought it was all a joke.
Ask Mike Tyson if he has ever seen a baby pidgeon and tell him that birds aren't real and see what he says (Mike Tyson raises homing pidgeons)
Also, if birds aren't real then where do eggs come from?

and I once read that the earth is flat, doesn't make it true.
These arguments completely fail the second you remember the Snowden leaks. You know, the leaks that only happened because one guy who was already disillusioned with the government happened to wind up in a dead end position that no-one knew about that still somehow had completely unrestricted access to highly restricted government documents? Sure, it got revealed, by pure dumb luck, so if you're counting that in your favour then that's not an argument at all it's just begging the question, "any conspiracy theory that got revealed did so because of incompetence, and since all conspiracy theories we know are true got revealed, that means 100% of known true conspiracy theories failed due to incompetence, that means any conspiracy will inevitably fail due to incompetence"
Real conspiracies exist sure, but the majority of 'conspiracies' now are literally just 'the government might not be telling the truth actually'. It's a word that's been overexpanded to the point of meaninglessness so these arguments don't work anymore. They only ever worked in *_any_* capacity because what was classified as a conspiracy was narrow enough to require the discretion of tens to even hundreds of millions of people who all knew the whole story and all chose not to reveal it. However, isolation of information is at the heart of most actual government operations, with only a few people knowing enough of the story to know what's really happening, and all of those people having great personal incentives to not reveal it. (again, see Snowden leaks where this *_exact_* thing happened)
@@majorramsey3k they’re not conspiracy theories if they’re true
@@vast9467they were conspiracy theories until they were proven true. Though tbf conspiracy theories that hinges on world goverment (especially ones that are against each others) doing something together that would really benefit one of them if they reveal it to the public is very, very stupid
Far too many people believe that the fact that you don't fully understand something is proof that it is faked. Smart enough to question what they see, but not smart enough to go find the answer.

Don't forget too stupid to realize the standard of proof isn't "see with my own eyes".
Kinda late, but fun fact: steel from pre-1945 shipwrecks is actually extra valuable, because metal smelted after the nuclear age started has small amounts of radioactive / isotopic contamination that is very difficult/expensive to eliminate. This older steel that was already smelted and then protected by lots of water is prized for use in highly sensitive scientific and medical scanning equipment.
That's cool to know, so basically old as shipwrecks, if you salvaged one , should get you a good amount?
@@nicholasholloway8743 It's less than you think, since there are ways to produce new steel without nuclear impurities, its just expensive, but the cost is justifiable for things made that are so sensitive to those impurities that its negligible in the grand scheme of the product being produced.
I was caught off guard when I first saw comments claiming that nuclear weapons, nuclear energy, atomic radiation, etc. is fake. At first I thought it was just one lone nutcase.making such absurd claims. Then when I saw it parroted by others I realized that I discovered yet another crackpot conspiracy.
We really should just call these ppl idiots because actual conspiracy theorist have been correct on alot of shit lately, I mean look at what's been happening? 😔 Ignoring ALL evidence doesn't make them conspiracy theorist lol, if they ain't bothering to research anything and blindly following a narrative.
@@nicholasholloway8743 Throughout history there have been conspiracy theories that have turned out to be correct. However, these fringe conspiracies thet depend on things like mass participation by millions of people, or, centuries of knowledge is all lies, or vast brainwashing of everyone on earth or, secret science that nobody knows about, conspiracies that laxk any evidence, etc. are almost always false. Examples are the "nuclear is fake", "flat earth", "chemtrails", etc.

The only reason why we know anything about it was a single box of 20,000 files were misplaced and avoided being incinerated.
ummm, have you been paying attention to the last few years? this is a weird example to use at this point...
That's one of the reasons conspiracy theories are so popular. We've seen the government fail at hiding so many things, who knows what they've succeeded at hiding. I believe that if all governments were completely open and forthcoming to their constituents about what they've done and what they know, there would be very few conspiracy theories, or at least a lot less conspiracy theories.

i believe nukes are real, however there are some inconsistencies in those test videos, like cars not being there, then right after the blast a car suddenly appears. which is probably why people don't believe them to be real.

But since the fotage is on the blast side, would'nt that place the cameras closer?
I imagine that the engineers and scientists setting this up where no dummies. They knew what they where dealing with and could just build a concrete shelter with proper shielding for the camera and other equipment.
@@di99utpe A lot were placed on metal poles with lead shielded camera boxes and a quartz glass window. The poles had guy wires bracing them. Also most of the cameras extremely close to the blast were not filming the blast themselves, but were filming effects targets (like houses, vehicles, entrenchments, etc.) so they were pointed away from the most intense heat. You can see some of these camera boxes in footage from other cameras filming the same test targets.
It's not particularly hard to build something that can survive a shockwave and the heat flash (even pretty close to the hypocenter).

Not sure if that's what all of em are saying, but that's how one of em rationalized it to me.
And while I tried explaining some of the evidence (I'm a fan of nuclear energy but it's way outside of my bag to explain it), I could at least understand the logic behind his view which was basically we tested and dropped extremely big bombs, they were just some type of weird chemical bomb and not nuclear
"Do stupid people even really exist???" Yes, yes they do.
The amount of nuclear bomb testing in the 40s-60s actually increased the global background radiation by a measurable amount - this lead to problems with the manufacture of sensitive radiation detectors as any steel used in the construction would be contaminated by radioactive particles from the atmosphere (most steel at the time would have been made by the Bessemer process, which injects air into liquid pig iron to decarbonise it). There was actually a black market for "low-background steel" harvested from pre-1949 shipwrecks for a while because of this.
China has been getting in to trouble for scrapping European WW2 shipwrecks for the low background steel. Though they have been actively avoiding American shipwrecks.

I used to be some what paranoid about radiation over a decade ago from fukushima propaganda. Until i bought a geiger counter and it gave me peace of mind and refuted stuff that i had believed. Over time i later became fascinated with radiation instead. Ive seen several radium clocks in person with a geiger counter. I have a few radioactive stones one of which i even use ***gasp*** for stuttering instance and i used them for metaphysical purposes that I do believe in. Im not a doctor i dont have a medical license what people do is their own risk. What i found very interesting is that radioactive blue apatite was able to reduce my stuttering objectively as no belief has ever done that before so much for mere placebo. I wish there was some kind of medical study on that to further verify this with other people as there are many people it could help. Anyway there is so much anti nuclear propaganda and radiation fear propaganda that has caused a lot of people to be afraid so they get paranoid and end up in conspiracy theories. Recently I walked into a store with a radiacode 102 turned on and it started ticking as much as uranium glass in there and up to 1300 CPM . The radiation was across the entire store caused by uranium tile or such hidden behind the modern walls in a building from the 50s or 60s. People dont realize how much they are exposed to radiation already and on a regular basis. Even your toilet is most likely radioactive. People are even smoking radioactive material and they dont even know it. The oil and coal companies produce radioactive waste not just nuclear power plants.

Idk, seems like a pussy move. Hit someone because you know they can't legally or morally hit you back. While refusing to do a simple thing in which every single one of them react the same way. And now we suddenly don't have the technology to go to the moon again? I am not saying we didn't go, I am saying these are valid questions, and considering the last 3 years you would think people would give a little more credit to 'conspiracy theorist' whether it was the 'island' of which we still don't have a client list, or thing related to the epidemic, or how about the government is now coming out telling everyone 'yep aliens are real, we have spacecraft, and non-human biologic bodies' people are to devastated economically and socially at this point to even care. But they were all mocked the same way, so I think it does a disservice to the truth to be dismissive and mock people who question things just because you disagree and believe what you are told. You act like there isn't any reason to question anything because they never lie, keep information compartmentalized, and exploit crisis for profit at the expense of regular people, who are shunned for point things out we know to be truths. Remember when Twitter banned anyone who questioned the epidemic, or retweeted the Hunter Biden laptop story? I do. Not that I have time to care. But I wont pretend that these are proven facts now, and Kyle starts out buy mocking Elon buying Twitter, a social media company who actively engaged in pushing falsified information and suppressing truthful information in order to craft and social engineer an agenda. Denying and mocking these facts just make conspiracy theorist more credible. And conspiracy theorist and the theories themselves are growing in numbers, not dissolving as you would predict with access to information and connection on a global scale via the internet. I think a lot of conspiracy are valid questions that deserve valid answers, but instead of valid answers, they are often just shunned and mocked. The more time that passes, they more they are either proven correct, or incorrect. But certainly questioning information is not as harmful as suppressing information.

This is the whole reason for the 2nd atomic bomb in Japan. No one could believe the damage from the 1st one.
My favorite part about this type of Conspiracy Theories it that it doesn't just say "The Government is playing us", but every government of the world works together in unison just to make us believe that Nukes are real.
You really don't understand, do you ?
Yes , all of the governments work together because they are all owned by the same central bank system .
The whole world shut down at the same time, and idiots still can't see what is obvious to a blind man .
Not only that, but they would have to rationalize that countries who were _actively fighting each other_ suddenly decided to work together to keep up this global conspiracy.
My country was one of many being bombed by Japan in WWII. Why would Japan stop bombing us if there wasn't a giant, horrific thing that happened to make them stop? And why would both my government and theirs, who were _enemies,_ as well as every other government who was either Axis or Ally, all look at the evidence and agree that nuclear weapons did indeed exist and were the reason for Japan's sudden surrender? It makes no sense that proud Japan, who had soldiers who would kill themselves for their country and brought theor own horrific torture to so many, would suddenly give up their conquest and bow to anything less than or exaggerate the destruction of the nuclear bombs that were dropped on their people.
If anything, were this conspiracy real, the more likely thing to conclude wouldn't be "pfft nukes don't exist", but rather "oh my god, whatever they have is worse than nukes and that's why they're hiding it from us". Imo people who believe in this conspiracy specifically seem like cowards.

At the end of the day, if you're willing to believe that everyone is telling coordinated lies, then there can be no proof of anything. All knowledge beyond, like, "I think therefore I am" requires believeing other people on some level.
Yes but for that we have the Segan standard: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
This means that for an ordinary claim like "i have a horse in my stable" you don't require much evidence in order to believe that.
You know horses exist, you know stables exist, you know horses often reside in stables etc.
But if the guy says "I have a pink unicorn in my attic that fullfills all my wishes"
You'd be very suspicious and require a lot of evidence to believe this!
@@NiekNooijens But that saying only extends to personal probable experience, and following it would never net us any improvement as a species beyond the middle ages.
As we progress as a species on a technological level, there inevitably comes certain break points of relatability where "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" goes out the window, because it's no longer applicable due to how advanced and specific these technologies have become, and how improbable it is for 99% of people to ever gain first hand experience with any relatable aspects of that technology.
I could bet 1000 bucks nobody here has actually seen an MRI scanner disassembled and analyzed each internal component and their properties - yet we don't require extraordinary evidence to support the claim that MRI machines are real, and the scans they generate aren't just faked on a computer to maintain the idea that doctors can do more good for you than you could on your own without such medical devices. Likewise nobody here has been the first-hand receiver of images from the James Webb telescope, but we don't need that evidence to believe that it exists and that its data is real.
You can either stop believing in what institutes of science and scientific history teaches, or you can embrace the fact that acquisition of extraordinary evidence is no longer feasible for the average human, thus we must rely on a collective trust in these institutes when enough of them independently present the same conclusions, that stands as a good enough proxy evidence to replace our own need for personally analyzing evidence first hand.
Ultimately solipsism, polylogism, nihilism, and this sort of absurd skepticism lead to one of two diametrically opposed extremes.
If words don''t have meaning, other people aren't real, and the world outside yourself isn't real and thus you have nothing to do with other people and you withdraw from the world, that's ascetic hermitage or complete psychotic derealization and withdrawal.
If words don''t have meaning, other people aren't real, and the world outside yourself isn't real and thus you are free to use and manipulate people as you desire that's antisocial personality disorder (combination of narcissism, psychopathy, and sociopathy) and ultimately evil.
If someone is advocating for any of these positions and is talking to you, it's pretty clear which extreme they're tending towards.

I wouldn’t say so. There are tons of “theories” that can’t even be considered theories because of the sheer amount of hard evidence they have. Only thing that doesn’t make them true is lack of direct official statements by the subject. This is a fallacy where because some topics in a subject area are absurd or stupid, people use those to discredit any other topic. There is also the problem of large scale events that are seen as true by one group and seen as false by another purely due to where they source credible information as they can have an extremely constricted world view resulting from bias.

I've never understood the "nukes don't exist" theory cause in the end if they were able to fake a nuclear bomb with conventional wepons that powerful it doesn't matter as the target is still getting annihilated.
I guess if you claim that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were chemical explosives it lets you pretend we don't have weapons over a thousand times more powerful now (Tsar Bomba was literally over 2000 times more powerful than Fat Man)
It would be terrifying if we had conventional weapons that powerful. City killers with no nasty fallout? How many would have been let off the chain in Korea or Vietnam? History would have been very different if cold War nations were comfortable with those bombs.

I think this must have started as a troll and then an idiot saw it and ran with it
One of my things I like to do is to feign interest and pose questions like “Oh, well if Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren’t nuclear bombs, what else could they have been?” just to see how much deeper of a hole they dig. Conventional bombs? Oh really? You know how many bombs that kind of destruction would have needed? Way more than 2 planes could carry.
Also, what about that kid who built a breeder reactor in his shed? Was that kid paid by the shadow government to be obsessed with science and radioactivity and use his own money to build a reactor? Yeah. I didn’t think so. lol
I'm surprised more people don't simply blame Godzilla.
Mind you, it’s not true but you’ve got really shoddy ones here
1. It was the results of the conventional bombing campaigns that happened over Japan, much like those in Europe. It’s accumulated damage being passed off as a single strike
2. Yes it takes a relatively small portion of money and a couple of NDAs to pull something that simple off. People make such hoaxes for fun now-a-days
Kid was a boy scout. There was a person in my area who was as bad a nuclear technician as Homer Simpson. I don’t know what material the idiot brought home, but BOTH of his homes along with ten surrounding homes were all demolished, the top soil stripped and all of the material properly disposed of due to the rads.
David Hahn, the guy you're talking about, didn't just use his own money. In 2007 he was arrested for stealing smoke detectors from apartment buildings to harvest the Americium
The easier proof that I’ve resorted to is pointing to test footage they believe to be staged using conventional explosives and asking them about the black smoke that rises from the cars and buildings seconds before the shockwave. You only get that effect with an XRay burst, not TnT.
Same could be said of the footage that American soldiers took days after the bombing of Hiroshima, showing shadows imprinted in concrete. I doubt you can get such perfectly shaped scorch marks with a blowtorch, or by calling in a crew of set painters from Hollywood before the city was rebuilt.
Anyone that's ever tried to manage a group of more than three people, or even just done a small group project in school, knows how utterly insane these conspiracy theories are that would require the generaions-long perfect and unerring cooperation of tens of thousands of people.

The government has to censor soldiers letters home when overseas because they blab too much 😂 I’m sure there are secrets, there has to be at some point. But stuff like this is utterly ridiculous.
You don't need that. Same for Apollo. Only a few know (or are delusional), the others are just doing their job. Proving that nukes exist with science would be relatively easy, though. But whoops, they refuse to detonate one (as a test) because of treaties. That's convenient.

How would it feel if I could just deploy that at will against any fact I didn't like? Holy crap what a freedom. Sadly, I am stuck here with the whole "life has no clear meaning and science likes to tell me things I thought mattered were small and the universe will eventually die" bits instead.
Some people don't believe in gravity, they think buoyancy is the law that governs weight. Truly mind-numbing stupidity.
It's a way to feel special. Always. "I'm smart enough, wise enough, and savvy enough to see through all the bullshit and know a truth you don't!" I only ever feel sorry for them.
@@TheActionBastardEh, I'm fine with it. You are the master of your own meaning. Things are meaningful simply because you decide it to be. No need for a reason beyond that.
Imo, as soon as you adopt this mindset, you no longer need a universe that revolves around you. Humans are not special and we don't need to be.
Our lives, matter to us. And that's all the meaning you need.
With respect to question of why weren’t the cameras vaporized while photographing nuclear testing, there is a book titled “How to Photograph an Atomic Bomb”. It gives details on how this was achieved. It wasn’t easy. Great book.
“It wast easy.” This. People with a lack of insight and imagination can’t possibly fathom how something was done by smart, creative, hardworking people….so instead of wanting to learn, they declare it impossible.
One of the Castle Bravo photographs shows a bunker on the left edge of the screen being vaporized. They had light pipes to carry the x-rays to instruments within that bunker. Unfortunately, the bomb yield was 2.5 times greater than anticipated and that bunker and its contents was vaporized, with a equivalent yield of 1 kiloton of TNT.
@@spvillano Do you have references of that photograph? Some Castle Bravo before/after photographs also show pristine beaches untouched where there should have been heavy transformations due to large waves.
@@extragoogleaccount6061 Interestingly, I heard the opposite argument for Apollo, many times, not just once. Some people jest about how faking the Apollo feats would be so difficult that it would be easier to just go there for real. Kinda ironic. Faking Apollo was extremely hard, and they took a lot of extreme measures to make sure some parts of it would be kept confined to as few people as possible. Something being difficult or intracte doesn't make it automatically real or false.
FranLab did a in-depth video on this. There is literally documentaries made on the building of these special cameras. Just gotta look my dude.
People died to these weapons and technologies, yet some people say it didnt happen. If there is an afterlife it must be frustrating as hell looking back at the world
I have a photo album my grandfather made when he was sent to Japan outside of Nagasaki post WWII. One of the photos was of a bunch of soldiers in the distance who were going to be sent into quarantine because they went too close to Nagasaki. Saying that they were put into quarantine for no reason, and that the stuff he wasn't comfortable talking about didn't happen I'm going to take as a personal attack on my grandfather because I can do that. He only got a benign tumor, but who knows if it was related or not. He always wondered if it was because he was still awfully close to Nagasaki so soon after the bombs dropped.
This is a wild topic that I got to see firsthand. Many, MANY years ago, around 2005-6ish, I went to a party with some friends. It was mainly civilians there and my two buddies and I were the only military.
Later on, after a few drinks, there was this guy who was annoying everyone with his conspiracy theories. I mean he was legit hardcore on them. He had I think three different theories on JFK, and all of them contradicted the others.
So he started bugging me on the deck where I was trying to have a peaceful smoke. Just asking what I knew, what secrets I could tell him, how often I went to Area 51, etc. So, I decided to have another drink, and some fun.
I sat him down and revealed to him the fact Canada does not exist. It was created in the 1950's by the government so people would think there was someone else between the US and USSR. Drive fifty miles past the border and land just ends. There is nothing but water. All Canadians are really American service members who live near the border for appearances. It is all made up.
Me, my buddies, and another guy there spent probably an hour talking about this and just making stuff up. I think someone came up with Maple Syrup is really from Russia and we just said it was from "Canada" for a morale win.
Weeks later I start getting gripes from mutual friends that the guy was now obsessed over that and spent all his time trying to prove it. And also demanding that I sit for a recorded interview so he had "proof". That never happened.
After a while it died down and I lost contact with everyone. But sometimes, just sometimes, I wonder what became of him.
I imagine, in a search for answers, he probably roamed too far north and fell off
on one hand this is hilarious, on the other hand it's probably not a good idea to feed them false ideas
it's honestly sorta of impressive how their minds work when facts and evidence is so easy to find and check
lmaoooo, well done
He won the presidency in 2016.
I mean, go ~100ish miles north of the border and Canada may as well not be real. Something like 90% of the population lives in the southernmost 10% of the country. The rest of Canada's landmass is still wilderness.
I remember in a college class we were discussing the splitting of the atom. The guy next to me raised his hand and said " Have we done that yet?" I looked at him and said," Have you ever heard of the atomic bomb?" Dude was in college and didn't know you could split an atom.
Who's Atom and why are you trying to split him
@@user-mb6ne3md6k If you ever met Atom you'd know why he was cleft in twain.
@@user-mb6ne3md6kbecause it’ll help release the millions of worlds within every human being, glory to Atom.
@@user-mb6ne3md6kwhat atom: Uranium
Why: to release heat and radiation from it in order to make electricity or an explosion
Then you should have been able to demonstrate it in front of him, which you cannot, without an atomic pile or nuclear reactor. Oh that doesn't prove a bomb can exist, only fission, alpha and beta particles. It is a long way from fission to a bomb if it can actually happen, which is why it took over 30 claimed years to actually make a bomb after a fission reactor was first built.
It is quite terrifying that the human collective memory is only about 50 years. Pretty soon we're going to hear historical events of the 1980s treated as conspiracy theories
Being blindly sceptical is just as foolish as being blindly gullible
